Percentage

Question

There are 25 students in the class. If 10 of those students are girl, what percent of the students are girl?

Answer 1

Use the formula p = w * %

 

p represents the portion, or part of the whole

 

w represents the whole

 

In this problem, the portion is 10

 

The whole is 25

 

10 = 25 * %

 

10/25 = 2/5 = 40%
